While the availability of equipment will vary depending on the flow of
traffic everyone should allow enough time in their schedule to walk in
the event that there are no bicycles for immediate use. The OU Bike

employees. Everyone is advised to ride with caution to maintain a safe
cycling environment. For more details on the bike share program, click here.
